I have been watching Star Trek: Voyager lately and have been thinking about how short the television seasons are these days. It is amazing to me that each season of Voyager has 26 episodes more or less and lasted 7 seasons. Now we are lucky if a show has ten episodes and makes it past season two! It is a real treat to sit back and watch Voyager because of the amount of time put into the characters and their history, of course with more money the sets were great, the writing interesting, and unique costumes, and crew. One thing I have to add is that I love the character 7 of 9 and wish they had brought her onboard a lot sooner, maybe the second season, it could have worked the first season but we needed some time to get used to the Delta quadrant. I liked the interaction with the Borg keeping in mind that DS9 was on television at the same time as Voyager for several years and the TNG crew was off making movies, some of it with the Borg, and the writers needed to keep the Star Trek Universe more or less unified and the stories consistent, and I personally think they did a great job!
If you haven't watched Voyager in a while, it is fun to refresh your memory and spend some time in the Delta quadrant!
When Kirk, Spock and the crew of the Starship Enterprise made the leap from television to the big screen in 1979's Star Trek: The Motion Picture, this model of the iconic USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) was used to help create the special effects in the sci-fi classic.

This model was photographed hanging from the ceiling of the Planet Hollywood Cafe in Las Vegas on April 7, 2011.

In addition to the cool model of the USS Enterprise, there was also a phaser pistol prop used in the movie sequel (and some would argue the best Star Trek movie), The Wrath of Khan.

A woman wore a Stormtrooper costume to her graduation so I do not know if this qualifies as being a fan or a fanatical fan or just plain crazy! From the story:
Ever hear the story about the woman who wore her Star Trek uniform to jury duty? Interestingly enough, I have another story to tell along that same lines, but with a different genre.
Manja Peters, who is a 36 year old woman, and a student from Canterbury University in the United Kingdom, decided she wanted to do something special for her last graduation. So in order to celebrate getting her Bachelor of
Fine Arts Degree, Peters decided to wear a full Star Wars Stormtrooper Costume during the ceremony.The reason for the costume, Peters admits, is that she is a film major and that she grew up watching Star Wars. It was directors like George Lucas who gave her the interest in film studies. Plus she says, it was meant as a way to make others happy. She commented:
I also wanted to bring a few smiles to people’s faces. It’s been tough, with the recession and redundancies.
Not everyone, though, seemed joyous about her wardrobe selection. According to Peters, some people felt nervous about the costume. But she explained, “I’m short so I’m not that imposing.”
Now where have I heard a line about a short Stormtrooper before? Hmm.
Actually, I think it is very creative and she was being artistic and unique and realistic about the times we live in. If anyone had a problem with her choice of attire, they really need to get over themselves. LINK
Since the exhibition of Star Trek at Las Vegas was closed and auctioned off, there is now an option for those die-hard Trek fans:
This summer, visitors to Kennedy Space Center will be able to participate in Star Trek Live, a new stage show.Star Trek Live melds special effects, space technology and audience interaction in a half-hour production from CBS Consumer Products and Mad Science Productions.Reported by Trektoday last fall, Star Trek Live will be appearing at Kennedy Space Center beginning June 11.Star Trek Live will allow audience members to “join Starfleet Academy” where they will be catapulted into an adventure featuring special effects, science, audience interaction and on-screen appearances from Captain Kirk and Spock themselves, with clips from the 2009 Star Trek XI film enhancing the experience.The audience member “cadets” will prepare for their first day at Starfleet Academy, but their introduction is rudely interrupted by an attack from a Romulan renegade. It’s up to the cadets to adapt to living and working in space, and to figure out what has happened and how to fix it as the future of the Federation will be in their hands.There will be five performances scheduled daily at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, the cost of which is included in the KSC regular admission price.
If you have time and money, this Saturday in Las Vegas you can bid for Star Trek props such as the famed Capt. Picard´s chair which might look great in your living room, or a uniform for the next party you attend. From the article:
"Star Trek" fans looking for Enterprise chairs, Starfleet uniforms or a model Klingon Bird of Prey can seek out new life for the dismantled pieces of a closed Las Vegas attraction based on the famous franchise. Auctioneer Propworx Inc. plans to sell roughly 1,000 items large and small from Star Trek: The Experience at a warehouse sale Saturday in Las Vegas, CEO Alec Peters said. The attraction, based on the beloved science fiction television series and movies, closed in 2008 after a 10-year run.
It is sad the attraction had to close but great for those who have the means to collect the items from the exhibition. HERE is a link to the full story.
Amongst the items delivered by the Discovery space shuttle to the International Space Station earlier today, was a patch with a Star Trek connection.The acronym for the NASA patch for the Window Observational Research Facility, a science equipment rack that will enable astronaut-tended and remote-controlled Earth-observation experiments, is the same as the name of Lt. Commander Worf, the Klingon seen on Star Trek: The Next Generationand Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
When I saw the new Apple iPad, my jaw dropped, it looked just like the Padd so frequently used in all of the Star Trek series! I always liked those Padds in the television shows because you could write stories, poems, but also look up historical records, do inventory, read books, write mission reports, the sky was the limit. I am not a big fan of new gadgets that come out every week and make the gadget I just purchased obsolete so I tend to only pay attention to what is being invented and usually it takes me years to get something new that I feel will stay around a while without being replaced quickly. When I see something similar to a common Trek prop, I get more curious than usual, but not curious enough to buy until it really has books, history, math, well, something very Star Trek -like, but that is just me, waiting for the ultimate piece of technology. Anyway, I like the look of it but I am waiting to hear if it is easy to use and not too sensitive to the touch or fragile because I am very rough with things like my cellphone, for example, I have dropped it more times than I can count and it still works! I would not want a fragile Padd, it needs to be space-worthy, Ha!
German scientists have been researching cloaking technology in three dimensions and ironically have been practicing on gold. I could go off on how funny and odd that is, cloaking gold? I know a lot of money has disappeared in this economic crisis, but it has been fiat currency, to make gold disappear, that is another story! In all seriousness, this technology has been researched for some time now with some success achieved in two dimensions and now in three dimensions, using gold. Those of you who watch or read science fiction, for example, Star Trek, the Romulans, Klingons, and Jem ´Hadar, all use cloaks. The Jem ´Hadar from Deep Space Nine are unique in that they cloak themselves and can sneak up right in front of you without you even detecting their presence, the Romulans and Klingons cloak their ships, so in all these examples, the cloak is used for battle or to move from place to place in stealth. Now I am racking my brain trying to find some purpose that cloaking will benefit humanity and I cannot. Maybe the answer eludes me in this time and place, but all I can see is the military of any country eager to get its hands on this kind of technology as well as police. Not even the Federation in Star Trek used cloaking technology in order to keep the peace with those who used cloaks and the Federation did not believe in spying on its own citizens. So again, I wonder why this type of scientific study is taking place?
When I read this article in Space.com, I became very interested in what the scientist William Edelstein presented about warp speed using Star Trek and the Enterprise as his example. From the article:
The original crew of "Star Trek" featured as unfortunate examples at a presentation by William Edelstein, a physicist at Johns Hopkins University, at the American Physical Society conference in Washington, D.C. on Feb. 13. The physicist showed a video clip of Kirk telling engineer Scotty to go to warp speed. "Well, they're all dead," Edelstein recalled saying. His words caused a stir among the audience. Some audience members at the American Physical Society event protested that Kirk, Spock and the "Star Trek" crew would all still live because of the starship Enterprise having shields. But Edelstein noted some of the existing difficulties with creating an electromagnetic shield with any resemblance to "Star Trek" technology. I like how the audience wanted something to work, that it is possible to create or design a ship that can travel great distances in a short time!
The physicist concluded by suggesting that extraterrestrials might not have visited Earth because of all the problems in traveling at near-light speeds, including how to deal with deadly hydrogen space mines. But for the record, he does believe that alien life exists.
"Getting between stars is a huge problem unless we think of something really, really different," Edelstein said. "I'm not saying that we know everything and that it's impossible. I'm saying it's kind of impossible based on what we know right now."
I guess we need to get out our shovels and start looking for a Stargate unless... it has already been found and in use!
It seems that top 10 lists or 10 things to know abound on the internet but once in a while a list is funny, especially when it concerns science fiction. This list from TechRepublic is fun and contains many Star Trek "things" so of course I love it.
10 things every geek should know
Date: January 19th, 2010
Author: Nicole Bremer Nash
In the spirit of bettering myself and continuing my quest for knowledge of all things geeky, I have come up with a list of 10 things every geek lad or lass should know. It’s my New Years resolution to know them all by the end of 2010. In no particular order:
Every geek should be able to give the Vulcan “Live long and prosper” hand signal from Star Trek. (Check out this toy for geeky sports fans.)
A true geek must be able to carry on a conversation using only Monty Python quotes.
Every year I get tired of the hype leading up to the Academy Awards, this year being the 82 year of the show. I do not like the show for many reasons so I will limit my rant to a couple of reasons. I am tired of spoiled actors who arrive in limos walking the red carpet in what is basically one long commercial for fashion and jewelry designers. Don´t get me wrong, I love movies and actors who are good at their craft, can tell a well written story that entertains us and leads us to a different time or place for a moment in our lives. The problem is, the awards and Hollywood are very political so the best actor or movie may not be the one that gets acknowledged. I always think back to the 1950´s and Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz of Desilu Studios, and I liked their style and elegance, their acting, and their business acumen. As well, they drove their own car to the awards shows ( which were still political even then) and Desi used to wash and wax his car the day before, they wore their own clothes, and had little plastic surgery. I do not begrudge anyone the right to work hard and get paid for it when the system is truly based on merit, but what I see now is just a disgusting display of plastic surgery, fake hair, and the designer clothes and jewels that are loaned to and not owned by the actors, the show and some movies are not about the craft of acting. I mention Desilu studios because Lucille Ball was the President at the time of giving the green light to Star Trek and putting the show on a tight budget that made special effects important but made more important the writing. With a great script, even the over-acting and few special effects did not take away from the overall message of the show. I even watched Planet of the Apes(1968) last night and all the over-acting, Carlton Heston running around in a loin cloth, and few costumes did not distract from the great story being told, which leads me to my next complaint about the Academy Awards and that is science fiction is always ignored, again due to the politics, I guess. I still get angry when you get a great science fiction movie that is well acted such as Alien (1979) and Aliens (1986) and Sigourney Weaver was nominated for best actress and did not win, the story was probably not up to snuff to the "dignified" Academy voters. This year the big buzz is about Avatar (2009), but James Cameron seems to have a lot of political influence in Hollywood, so we shall see what happens, but to me that movie was a big video game in 3-D, I know a lot of people loved it, but I did not. I prefer less special effects or some effects that are well placed, but instead I like a great story such as Blindness(2008), if you have not seen this movie it is a must see because the acting is great and the special effects minimal. As I said, it will be interesting to see what happens with Avatar, District 9, and the Star Trek reboot movie this year since all are in contention for awards..
It never ceases to amaze me how creative people can be with YouTube videos. I found such a creative and unique video on how Star Trek the reboot movie should have ended, it is a hoot! Enjoy the video!
A blogger decided to make a list of the most intriguing women in science fiction according to her, so I thought I would pick apart her list, although I agree with most of it and some of the women are in shows that would be considered fantasy and not science fiction but the blogger admits this openly. Strong women in science fiction have always provided for me the example of how to be strong in your convictions, fight for what you believe in, and still retain feminine qualities in the process.
2. Starbuck, Six, Eight, “Battlestar Galactica” (Katie Sackhoff, Tricia Helfer, Grace Park): The re-imagined series from 2004-2009 managed to create some truly exciting characters with complicated stories. And playing a Cylon must have been an actor’s dream, given that there were several different iterations with varying personalities. Six and Eight, as agents of the Cylons living with humans, were fascinating and complex. And Starbuck had some rather unladylike traits, but she always provided a thrilling ride.
I agree 100% with these choices especially Starbuck since the original role was played by a man, so it gave her character the ability to play a very strong part, I know some disagreed with the change in gender, but I think it worked out well.
5. Buffy, “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” (Sarah Michelle Gellar): I’m going to make a huge confession now, and that is: I wasn’t a big fan of Buffy (1997-2003). I had nothing against her, really, and I love some of Joss Whedon’s other work, but the show just isn’t one of my favorites. Nevertheless, she’s been hugely influential, and she and the other female characters of the series (especially Willow) without question belong on this list. Her adventures, her romances (Angel! Spike!), her teen angst—it all adds up to a fascinating run and some very well thought-out scifi characters.
While this show was more fantasy, who can resist a good vampire tale especially with a teenager able to dispatch with evil vampires. I enjoyed the show and the risks it took.
9. Jaime Sommers, “The Bionic Woman” (Lindsay Wagner): Talk about a strong woman. Bionics-enhanced Jaime caught bad guys and generally saved the world from 1976-1978. Although some will say the show doesn’t exactly stand the test of time, the idea of Jaime Sommers certainly has. Let’s face it, back in the ‘70s we needed Jaime to show us what an action heroine looked like.
I absolutely loved this show and wished I could run as fast as Jaime Sommers or be as strong. The re-make could have been good if they had not tried to make the character exactly as the original. They should have let Michelle Ryan speak in her lovely English accent and modified the story to fit into modern times and technology, too bad it did not work out.
13. Kira Nerys, Jadzia Dax, “Deep Space Nine” (Nana Visitor, Terry Farrell): For my money “Deep Space Nine” (1993-1999) is absolutely the “Star Trek” version with the most fascinating females. Maybe in this, as in other things, it took a cue from “Babylon 5”? The Bajoran-Cardassian conflict would not have been nearly so interesting without Kira’s aggressive take on things. As for Jadzia--she’s the woman who won Worf’s heart and was strong enough to hang out with Klingons, which is in itself a major accomplishment.
What can I say!!! Dax is my favorite character in Star Trek and Kira Nerys is right up there at the top. Both are strong in unique ways, and I liked how Kira became less angry throughout the course of the series and more pragmatic. I agree with the comment, DS9 has some of the most interesting characters period.
I have discussed in many posts that the economic depression we are in is not being fully or truthfully reported in the mainstream press and if you want the truth you have to rely on bloggers. I also found a great website that lists all of the jobs being cut on a daily basis, DailyJobCuts.com. We were discussing a few posts back about two episodes in Star Trek: Deep Space 9 entitled Past Tense parts one and two, in which Sisko, Bashir, and Dax get beamed back in time to the year 2024. Capt. Sisko and Dr. Bashir get picked up by the police and placed in what was called a Sanctuary District for those who have no home, no work, or are mentally ill. These people are walled in, have ID papers, and are not allowed to leave but are going to receive help in finding work, which of course does not happen. Sound familiar? We have so many unemployed in the USA what will happen when there are no more social nets like unemployment insurance? Bernanke and company cannot keep printing money forever, and soon hyperinflation will come and food will be expensive. The writers of these two episodes had great insight into what could happen if too many people were without work and how the government would handle it: put them out of sight, in over crowded conditions, supply very little food, while those on the outside who do have jobs need to work with the government and follow all of their rules and ignore those in the Districts. Wow, this is a great story and a scary one at that. What is going to happen to all of the unemployed, will they get "put away" somewhere? Here is a short clip from the episode, but I suggest watching it all if you have the DVD.
This is very cool video from a 1975 Star Trek Convention. From the article:
Back in August of 1975, Star Trek fan Rich Portnoy shot almost four minutes worth of 8mm movie film showing original series cast members at a Chicago Star Trek convention.The 1975 Star Trek convention, attended by over 14,000 people, was held from August 22-24 at the Conrad Hilton Hotel in Chicago.In attendance were the original series actors, younger and with classic 1970s hairstyles. They included: Leonard Nimoy, William Shatner, DeForest Kelley, Walter Koenig, James Doohan, Nichelle Nichols and George Takei.Also in attendance was Arlene Martel (T’Pring from Amok time,) wearing a scarf over her dark hair.The cast was “guarded” by security personnel dressed up as (old style) Klingons. Before Doohan’s entrance, a female Klingon came out with bagpipes.
The son of the famous actor from Star Trek: The Original Series has been missing since the 14th of Feb 2010. While I am not too familiar with the work of Andrew Koenig, 41 years of age, it is sad that he has gone missing. From the article:
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – The actor son of "Star Trek" veteran Walter Koenig has disappeared while visiting friends in Canada, and family pleaded on Sunday for information on his whereabouts to be given to the Vancouver police. Andrew Koenig, 41, who co-starred as "Boner" on the 1980s sitcom "Growing Pains," was last seen in Vancouver on February 14 after neighbors said he sold all his possessions in Los Angeles. "He's been depressed," his father, who has a degree in psychology, told local ABC television station KABC. "He's trying to get ahead in this business and he's been working at it a long time." Koenig, 73, who played Starfleet officer Pavel Chekov on the original "Star Trek" series and the first seven feature spin-offs, said drugs were not an issue.
I would like to point out, and I am not in any way inferring this is the case here, that many people are getting depressed during these very difficult economic times we are living in, hence the name Depression. I wish governments, the mainstream media, and people in general would start talking openly about how hard things are financially and how hard it is to find work. I guess people are scared, ashamed, or feel like failures and would rather pretend to others things are fine, but the truth is, things are not fine! Please read this link and read the comments, people are getting desperate about where their next paycheck is coming from and how they will eat! I realize this seems way off topic from an actor gone missing but the bottom line is, when we feel down and out, we need to be honest with each other and support each other in the best way we can. I hope Andrew shows up and I am sure his family would support him with open arms. Here is a link to the article.
The latest interview with Margaret Atwood discussing her dystopian tale "The Year of the Flood", she considers herself an optimist, she has also in the past denied that she writes anything science fiction. The truth is, however, most of her novels paint a grim and dystopic portrait of the future of humans here on Earth. From the article:
In "The Handmaid's Tale" (1985), religious fundamentalists rule the United States and women are treated as chattel. In "Oryx and Crake" (2003), genetic engineering has run wild and commercialism dominates society. And in her latest novel, "The Year of the Flood" -- a companion to "Oryx" -- civilization buckles under humanity's carelessness, wiping out much of the species. In "The Year of the Flood," set in the not-too-distant future, things have gotten pretty well along the path. Corporations and governments are intertwined, and the well-off live in protected corporate communities. Much of the population, however, lives in slums and scrounges for food -- some eating the creations of fast-food joints such as SecretBurgers, where the secret was "that no one knew what sort of animal protein was actually in them," Atwood writes ("Soylent Green," anybody?). Latchkey kids roam the streets, stealing and making trouble. The unlucky dead are discarded like so much biological waste, perhaps to be made into something commercially useful. Animal DNA has been crossed and tinkered with to create beasts such as rakunks and wolvogs. And a handful of characters, notably the hard-bitten Toby and the wide-eyed Ren, make their way through the world, helped by the faithful of a religious group called God's Gardeners -- and their own wits.
The optimism Atwood claims she has is all about writing a novel, she feels it takes a lot of positive thought to complete a novel and hope it gets finished then published and then read. Her stories are less than optimistic, however. When I see how people are living today (at least in California) due to the economy, some 23 people crammed in one small house with all of their relatives and some friends, outright living in tents, not showering regularly, torn clothes, broken shoes, the stories by Margaret Atwood do not seem that unlikely. I love a writer that write dytopian novels because I believe our future holds a lot of pain and destruction even though I still believe that people can cooperate and create in the distant future a life that is more peaceful, that is also why I love the ideas presented in the Star Trek universe, that eventually humans will need to work together and somehow leave greed and selfishness behind. I hope we get there one day.
I was looking at the graphics of the new Star Trek online multiplayer game and they are really impressive. What I like is that the timeline for the game takes place after the movie Star Trek Nemesis which keeps the timeline of the Original series and on throughout all the other Star Trek series and films, but it does not include the most recent Star Trek reboot movie because the timeline was changed. You can check out the website HERE, and here is a clip from the online game.
I guess everyone was excited about the new Star Trek MMORPG online pc game, because they overloaded the servers! From the article: Tuesday marked the official launch of Cryptic Studio's MMORPG, Star Trek
Online. Proving that Trek isn't just for geeks, fans flocked to the just-launched PC game and have now overloaded the servers, catching Cryptic by surprise. Unlike other MMORPG launches, Star Trek Online came packed with a pre-installed fan base stretching back to the 1960's, making this overload unsurprising. The Star Trek Online beta, launched last month, suffered the same fate, enduring a flood of players that locked up the log-in system and thus prevented this annoyed gamer from checking out Roddenberry's virtual world. Cryptic eventually alleviated the burden by optimizing and expanding the MMORPG's server-base, however now it seems that those efforts weren't enough for the full-fledged launch.
That is so cool that many people want to play and be a character from Star Trek. I am sure they will work out all the bugs and fans are going to be nuts about playing this game. Here is the article.
If you are a big fan of the Klingons from all of the Star Trek series and movies, you can learn their language and even tweet on Twitter in Klingon; and while you are tweeting, you can double check in the Klingon dictionary that you are using the proper words!
You can also become a member of the Klingon Language Institute and polish your Klingon verbal skills if you ever happen to take a vacation on Qo´noS (Kronos) the Klingon homeworld or meet a Klingon vacationing here on Earth.
